Considered the first Apple Watch Ultra as a revolution that has not been experienced in the wearable since the first generation, we still do not know what the renewal cycle of this range will be. What seems more than obvious is that the current one is the first, but it won’t be the last. AND the latest leaks indicate an interesting improvement for the future and which will also be shared with other Apple devices.
A strong commitment to microLED
Apple’s bid to go increasingly improve the quality of screens of its products is a reality. We’ve seen this before with miniLED technology in the larger 2021 iPad Pro and 2022 iPad Pro models. this guy with more devices in mind.
Next up is microLED technology and its arrival on the Apple Watch. And it is that at the beginning of the year an ‘Ultra’ with this technology was already planned for 2024 and now the latest reports increase this margin until 2025, but they show a clear signal that the future of the Apple Watch is microLED. Starting with the premium range, represented by the Ultra.
This information comes from DigiTimes, a well-known Asian outlet with sources very close to Apple’s supply chain. And joining his report with that of other experts such as Jeff Pu, analyst at Haitong International Securities, it is also extracted that that ‘Ultra’ would come with a bigger screen going from the 1.9 inches of the current model to one of the 2.1 inches. And with microLED, of course.
So there would be a 10.53% increase in screen size. Something that’s unclear to what extent this will be noticeable, given that the case size may not vary and may make the bezels less pronounced, which is precisely what has been done with generations of the Apple Watch standard such as Series 4 and Series 7.
